Brief Answer:
Acne from steroid injection
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to hear that you developed acne after receiving steroid injections. This is a common side effect from steroid injections. It may take up to 2 months to recover from the acne as the injection lasts for 1 month. There is no treatment OTC or prescription that can reduce your symptoms. I do recommend regular washing with a mild soap and water 2 times daily. Please try not to use any of the OTC products for acne as it may worsen your acne and cause more damage to your skin.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
